Blog letter to my parents....

YOU CAN SEE ME RIGHT?

Can you not hear me scratching and wailing and crying in here? I seem to get forgotten in the closet more times than I should. I am not saying I can’t ever be forgotten. For instance, if one of the dog food bins is left open, you can forget about me all night long until breakfast comes around. You can leave me in the closet if there is a scary person in my house. That would be ok, but when there is no entertainment in there or any fear factors, you need to let me out when I am done eating. The absence of my slurping and gulping noises should give you a clue that I am finished eating and am ready to retire under my blanket. My blog fans will rise up and protest how I am being mistreated so you better pay attention to me!!! Thank you, my fans for watching out for me as I would do for you if I actually cared about anyone but myself.  It is the thought that counts, right?

CHUCK
Ready to come out now!

I AM STILL IN HERE!!!

DAY DREAM BELIEVER

Sometimes I day dream about running wild and free: Galloping with the horses, chasing the wild bunnies, scaring the birds with my bark and surprising the ground squirrels with my sneakiness and stealth. Then I remember that there is no ham in any of those above mentioned scenarios. I think that I am happy to stay in the safety of my pen. Sometimes the grass is greener right where you are napping!

BRING YOUR KIDS TO WORK DAY

THREE IS FOR SURE A CROWD!

We got to go to work with my Mom and it was super exciting. She put two dog beds down for us but the girls insisted on squeezing into one bed. I spent my first hour trying to escape so I could run to Becky’s office, but no luck there. There is a window in the door and people were looking at us like we were a zoo exhibit which might not be far from the truth. Anyway, I finally crawled under the blanket and did my usual thing. That is the thing about being a good sleeper. You can just nap anywhere no matter who is gawking at you. I could have been more sociable I suppose, but nothing gets in the way of me and a good nap except for ham. I would even try to do some little Chihuahua tricks for a ham snack. Maybe I should spend more time learning tricks? Never mind, I am cute and that is the only trick I need!

FASHION AND STYLE = CHUCK

I just got a new hat that is exactly like my Dad's so he thought that we should maybe go for a little drive while sporting our cool hats. I even got to drive. The thing about me driving is that I can't read people stuff so you guys have all of these rules and regulations on the road and none of them mean anything to me. I always have the right of way. Pedestrians need to wait for me to go by and I am certainly not stopping unless I see a ham stand on the side of the road. If an officer should pull me over, they would be so intrigued by my stylish handsome hat that they would probably want me to drive for them too! In fact I may be looking at a career as a limo driver. Of course I do need a little booster seat so I can see all of the signs that I am ignoring. I would also like a little blanket with me in the front seat in case I need a little snooze. For my next adventure, I think I need a racing hat!!!

DO YOU THINK I NEED A DRIVING OUTFIT TO GO WITH MY HAT
OR SHOULD I JUST STAY NAKED?

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHIHUAHUA

This is a rare phenomenon that only happens every hundred years or so, however this is a daily occurrence for Chuck. Please do not view these pictures without proper eye wear to protect from any eye damage.

LEFT AT THE ALTAR?

OK so I will just never make it to the altar. This blog should be called “All the Events that Chuck Misses” Yes, there is another event that I am missing. This time it is a wedding instead of a baseball game. How could I not be invited to a wedding? I am a romantic sort of guy and I am sociable and fun. I could toast the bride and groom and dance with the bride. I could eat whatever food is being served and I would enjoy it more than anyone. Weddings should be a festive occasion and my middle name is Festive! Here is another idea. Me on top of the cake! How great would that be? Think how cute I would look in my fancy duds perched on top of a six- tiered cake. Of course, it wouldn’t be six tiers anymore if I were on top of it, now would it? Who could blame me for having a little taste before anyone else gets any? I guess we will never know since my invitation got lost in the mail!

3 STRIKES YOU'RE OUT

I EVEN HAVE A BASEBALL SHIRT!

My parents snuck off to go to a baseball game and they didn’t take me with them. I am a little bit miffed (whatever that means) and I don’t think I will talk to them for a few days just so they get the message of my miffedness. I could have thrown the first pitch, eaten a hot dog, slurped a beer or just enjoyed the noise of the crowd. I could have spent time in the dugout. That sounds like a good place for a dog don’t you think? If they are going to leave me at home, they should at least keep their plans a secret so I don’t end up feeling rejected. At least they didn’t take one of the other dogs. That would have really gotten me in a little Chihuahua uproar! I am going to insist on attending the next sporting event. I don’t care what it is. Hockey would be fine because I could put on some little skates. Basketball would be ok even if I might be too short to participate. I am not sure about soccer as I might get kicked, but they still have hot dogs don’t they? I am a versatile guy and not super picky about my social life. I don’t get out much and I think it is time for me to expand my adventures. It is time to come out from under the blanket and explore the world. Actually, I think it is time for a nap first and then I will be well rested!

Take me out to the ball game.......When I get up from my nap!
